The Bottom Line
REGAL PLUS in Al Raffa is aimed at shoppers looking for Indian grocery staples plus Mumbai- and Gujarati-style sweets and savouries. The most consistently useful draw in the reviews is the snack counter: samosa, kachori, farsan, kothimbir vadi and thepla all get specific mentions, alongside packed namkeen and frozen ready-to-cook food. There is real variety for regional-food shoppers.
One review says almost every Gujarati product is available, while another lists fafda, gathiya, jalebis and kharvas. Some customers describe the sweets as excellent and say the barfi is flown in from Mumbai; others found the sweets average, stale or not worth the price, so quality appears uneven. Budget carefully.
50 for a samosa and AED 5 for a kachori. Perishables deserve attention too, with repeated complaints about rotten mangoes and spoiled rasmalai or thepla. Service is the main wildcard.
Several reviewers praise helpful staff and prompt delivery, but others describe rude counter interactions, disputed exchanges and WhatsApp orders packed incorrectly. Check the bill, confirm substitutions and delivery charges, and inspect fresh items before leaving.
